Kitchen Concerts

The kitchen island has become Sophie’s unofficial practice stage lately. She dragged her guitar down from her room this afternoon and announced she’d finally nailed that Taylor Swift song she’s been working on for weeks.

I have to admit, it actually sounded pretty good - much better than the choppy attempts we’ve been hearing through the ceiling.

That concentration face means business

There’s something about watching her concentrate, tongue poking out slightly like she used to do when she was little and learning to write her name. Some things never change, even when your kid is suddenly taller than you and rolling her eyes at most things you say.

Nailed it

The satisfied smile when she finished playing the whole song without stopping? Priceless. Marcus was working upstairs and came down asking if she’d been listening to Spotify. Nope, that was all Sophie. I think we might have a real musician on our hands.

Now if only Theo would stop requesting ‘Baby Shark’ every time she picks up the guitar. Some battles are harder to win than others.
